: I have a consent upper back pain on my left side. The pain increases when I take a deep breath or yawn. I was told that I have emphazima. But when I went to take a breathing and respiatory test the results came back fine. Well it has been about a month since then. The pain has increased. When I was tested I had no problem breathing but that has changed. I no longer have health insurance and just want to know what's wrong with me. I was told if I had emphazima I would not feel pain just discomfort. Well I have very bad pain. Also what are the symthoms of lung cancer. please email me back. Thank you, Ken Harris.

Ken,

I have almost the same problems but mine stem from my ribs going out as a result of upper back problems I also have a lot of scar tissue from a collapsed lung two years ago. An adjustment on your upper back may help. Good luck,
Frank
